Credenza is the collection that marked the brand’s debut. Its authors – Patricia Urquiola and Federico Pepe – were inspired by the windows of holy sites as the ones created by Gerhard Richter for Cologne’s Cathedral. Credenza sideboard is produced in blue lacquered metal and mouth-blown stained glass. The pattern recalls a pyramid under the sun, where the “spines” are rays of light. Credenza reconciles the orthodoxy of Patricia Urquiola’s contemporary design and the heresy of Federico Pepe’s art as a form of communication.The story is all about pieces of furniture that can be displayed close to a wall or in the centre of a room. Their main function is not only to decorate or to store, but to create a presence within the space.
